Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 31490 SUBJECT: GRB 220118A: Swift detection of a burst with an optical counterpart DATE: 22/01/18 18:33:38 GMT FROM: Kim Page at U.of Leicester N. J. Klingler (GSFC/UMBC/CRESSTII), E. Ambrosi (INAF-IASFPA), A. D'Ai (INAF-IASFPA), V. D'Elia (SSDC & INAF-OAR), S. Dichiara (PSU), J.D. Gropp (PSU), H. A. Krimm (NSF), F. E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC), K. L. Page (U Leicester), D. M. Palmer (LANL), T. M. Parsotan (GSFC/UMBC/CRESSTII), B. Sbarufatti (PSU) and M. H. Siegel (PSU) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: At 18:20:38 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 220118A (trigger=1093742). Swift slewed immediately to the burst. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 192.274, +22.909 which is RA(J2000) = 12h 49m 06s Dec(J2000) = +22d 54' 33" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve showed a single-peaked structure with a duration of about 20 sec. The peak count rate was ~1400 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger. The XRT began observing the field at 18:22:08.3 UT, 90.3 seconds after the BAT trigger. Using promptly downlinked data we find a bright, fading, uncatalogued X-ray source located at RA, Dec 192.26936, 22.91600 which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 12h 49m 04.65s Dec(J2000) = +22d 54' 57.6" with an uncertainty of 3.5 arcseconds (radius, 90% containment). This location is 29 arcseconds from the BAT onboard position, within the BAT error circle. This position may be improved as more data are received; the latest position is available at https://www.swift.ac.uk/sper. A power-law fit to a spectrum formed from promptly downlinked event data gives a column density in excess of the Galactic value (2.25 x 10^20 cm^-2, Willingale et al. 2013), with an excess column of 3.4 (+2.60/-2.24) x 10^21 cm^-2 (90% confidence). The initial flux in the 2.5 s image was 4.57e-10 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.2-10 keV). UVOT took a finding chart exposure of 150 seconds with the White filter starting 99 seconds after the BAT trigger. There is a candidate afterglow in the rapidly available 2.7'x2.7' sub-image at RA(J2000) = 12:49:04.53 = 192.26888 DEC(J2000) = +22:54:56.2 = 22.91562 with a 90%-confidence error radius of about 0.75 arc sec. This position is 1.8 arc sec. from the center of the XRT error circle. The estimated magnitude is 17.83 with a 1-sigma error of about 0.15. No correction has been made for the expected extinction corresponding to E(B-V) of 0.025. Burst Advocate for this burst is N. J. Klingler (noelklin AT umbc.edu). Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/)

The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 192.277, 22.911 deg which is RA(J2000) = 12h 49m 06.4s Dec(J2000) = +22d 54' 37.8" with an uncertainty of 1.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 22%. The mask-weighted light curve shows a single-peaked structure that starts at ~T-4 s, peaks at ~T+1 s, and ends at ~T+10 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 10.61 +- 1.78 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-3.90 to T+9.54 sec is best fit by a simple power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is 1.67 +- 0.12. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.8 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+0.68 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 3.3 +- 0.5 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.

Lee (UNAM), Eleonora Troja (GSFC) and Tzveti Dimitrova (ASU) report: We observed the field of GRB 220118A (Klingler et al., GCN Circ. 31490 ; Fermi GBM Team, GCN Circ. 31489) with the COATLI 50-cm telescope and interim imager at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir (http://coatli.astroscu.unam.mx) from 2022-01-19 07:32 UTC to 13:26 UTC (13.24 to 19.1 hours after the trigger), obtaining a total of 16215 seconds of exposure in the r filter. We do not detect any uncataloged sources in the enhanced XRT error region (Goad et al., GCN Circ. 31495) to a 3-sigma limit of r = 22.9, which confirms the afterglow fading reported by the GTI and Swift/UVOT teams (Kumar et al., GCN Circ. 31496; Belles et al., GCN Circ. 31498) Our r magnitudes are calibrated against the Pan-STARRS1 catalog, are on an approximate AB system (Becerra et al., 2019, ApJ, 872, 118), and are not corrected for Galactic extinction in the direction of the GRB. We thank the COATLI technical team and the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 31506 SUBJECT: GRB 220118A: Fermi GBM detection DATE: 22/01/20 16:39:29 GMT FROM: Boyan A. Hristov at UAH Cori Fletcher (USRA) and C. Meegan (UAH) and Boyan A. Hristov (UAH) report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: "At 18:20:35.84 UT on 18 January 2022, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 220118A (trigger 664222840 / 220118764), which was also detected by the Swift BAT/XRT (N. J. Klingler et al. 2022, GCN 31490) and observed by SWIFT UVOT (A. Belles et al. 2022, GCN 31498). The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization (GCN 31489) is consistent with the Swift position. The GBM light curve shows a single peak with a duration (T90) of about 19 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum from T0+0.003 s to T0+18.176 s is best fit by a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -1.08 +/- 0.09 and the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 148.30 +/- 17.50 keV. The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is (3.017 +/- 0.182)E-06. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured starting from T0+3.39204 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 4.0 +/- 0.28 ph/s/cm^2. The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary; final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/fermi/fermigbrst.html For Fermi GBM data and info, please visit the official Fermi GBM Support Page: https://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/gbm/"

Malesani (Radboud Univ. and DAWN/NBI), A. de Ugarte Postigo (Obs. Cote d'Azur), C. C. Thoene (HETH/ASU CAS Ondrejov), M. Blazek (HETH), J. F. Agui Fernandez (HETH/IAA-CSIC), A. Guijarro, and A. Fernandez (both CAHA) report: We observed the afterglow of GRB 220118A (Swift detection: Klingler et al., GCN #31490; Fermi/GBM Detection: Fletcher et al., GCN #31506; afterglow detections: Hosokawa et al., GCN #31493; Kumar et al., GCN #31496; Belles & Klingler, GCN #31498) with CAFOS, mounted on the 2.2 m telescope, at the Calar Alto Observatory (Almeria, Spain). The observation started at 01:09:11 UT on 19 January 2022 (6.81 hr after the GRB) and consisted of 10 x 150 s integrations in the r' band and 9 x 150 s in the i' band. Observations were hampered by the Wolf Moon, but otherwise conditions were very good (1".1 seeing, very good transparency). The afterglow is faintly detected in the stacked images in each filter. Against several Pan-STARRS stars, we measure: r' = 22.40 +/- 0.18 mag at 0.29916 d after trigger, and i' = 22.07 +/- 0.17 mag at 0.32064 d after trigger. No further observations are planned.

Circular_text TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 31519 SUBJECT: GRB 220118A: TARGET optical upper limit DATE: 22/01/23 08:08:05 GMT FROM: Takanori Sakamoto at AGU Y. Koyanagi, K. Hasuda, T. Sakamoto (AGU) We observed the field of GRB 220118A detected by Swift (Klingler et al., GCN Circ. 31490) with The AGU Robotic Gravitational-wave Electromagnetic Telescope (TARGET) equipped with the Veloce RH200 (20 cm OTA) and the large format CCD camera (ATK11000) located at the Machida field of Aoyama Gakuin University. 20 images of 60 sec exposures were taken in the R filter starting from January 18 18:25:04 (UT) about 4.4 minutes after the trigger and stopped on January 18 18:57:56 (UT). We do not detect the optical afterglow both in the individual images and the stacked image at the enhanced XRT position (Goad, et al. GCN Circ. 31495). The estimated five sigma upper limit of the combined image (total exposure of 1200 sec) is ~16.1 mag using the USNO-B1 catalog.
